Josua 4
Beibl William Morgan
4 A Phan ddarfu i’r holl genedl fyned trwy’r Iorddonen, yr Arglwydd a lefarodd wrth Josua, gan ddywedyd, 2 Cymerwch i chwi ddeuddengwr o’r bobl, un gŵr o bob llwyth; 3 A gorchmynnwch iddynt, gan ddywedyd, Cymerwch i chwi oddi yma, o ganol yr Iorddonen, o’r fan y mae traed yr offeiriaid yn sefyll yn daclus, ddeuddeg o gerrig; a dygwch hwynt drosodd gyda chwi, a gosodwch hwynt yn y llety y lletyoch ynddo heno. 4 Yna Josua a alwodd am y deuddengwr a baratoesai efe o feibion Israel, un gŵr o bob llwyth: 5 A dywedodd Josua wrthynt, Ewch trosodd o flaen arch yr Arglwydd eich Duw, trwy ganol yr Iorddonen; a chodwch i chwi bob un ei garreg ar ei ysgwydd, yn ôl rhifedi llwythau meibion Israel: 6 Fel y byddo hyn yn arwydd yn eich mysg chwi, pan ofynno eich meibion chwi yn ôl hyn, gan ddywedyd, Beth y mae y cerrig hyn yn ei arwyddocau i chwi? 7 Yna y dywedwch wrthynt, Dorri ymaith ddyfroedd yr Iorddonen o flaen arch cyfamod yr Arglwydd; pan oedd hi yn myned trwy ’r Iorddonen, dyfroedd yr Iorddonen a dorrwyd ymaith. Y mae’r cerrig hyn yn goffadwriaeth i feibion Israel byth. 8 A meibion Israel a wnaethant felly fel y gorchmynasai Josua; ac a gymerasant ddeuddeg carreg o ganol yr Iorddonen, fel y llefarasai yr Arglwydd wrth Josua, yn ôl rhifedi llwythau meibion Israel, ac a’u dygasant drosodd gyda hwynt i’r llety ac a’u cyfleasant yno. 9 A Josua a osododd i fyny ddeuddeg carreg yng nghanol yr Iorddonen, yn y lle yr oedd traed yr offeiriaid, oedd yn dwyn arch y cyfamod, yn sefyll: ac y maent yno hyd y dydd hwn.
10 A’r offeiriaid, y rhai oedd yn dwyn yr arch, a safasant yng nghanol yr Iorddonen, nes gorffen pob peth a orchmynasai yr Arglwydd i Josua ei lefaru wrth y bobl, yn ôl yr hyn oll a orchmynasai Moses wrth Josua: a’r bobl a frysiasant, ac a aethant drosodd. 11 A phan ddarfu i’r holl bobl fyned drosodd, yna arch yr Arglwydd a aeth drosodd, a’r offeiriaid, yng ngŵydd y bobl. 12 Meibion Reuben hefyd, a meibion Gad, a hanner llwyth Manasse, a aethant drosodd yn arfogion o flaen meibion Israel, fel y llefarasai Moses wrthynt: 13 Ynghylch deugain mil, yn arfogion i ryfel, a aethant drosodd o flaen yr Arglwydd i ryfel, i rosydd Jericho.
14 Y dwthwn hwnnw yr Arglwydd a fawrhaodd Josua yng ngolwg holl Israel; a hwy a’i hofnasant ef, fel yr ofnasant Moses, holl ddyddiau ei einioes. 15 A’r Arglwydd a lefarodd wrth Josua, gan ddywedyd, 16 Gorchymyn i’r offeiriaid, sydd yn dwyn arch y dystiolaeth, ddyfod ohonynt i fyny allan o’r Iorddonen. 17 Am hynny Josua a orchmynnodd i’r offeiriaid, gan ddywedyd, Deuwch i fyny allan o’r Iorddonen. 18 A phan ddaeth yr offeiriaid, oedd yn dwyn arch cyfamod yr Arglwydd, i fyny o ganol yr Iorddonen, a sengi o wadnau traed yr offeiriaid ar y sychdir; yna dyfroedd yr Iorddonen a ddychwelasant i’w lle, ac a aethant, megis cynt, dros ei holl geulennydd.
19 A’r bobl a ddaethant i fyny o’r Iorddonen y degfed dydd o’r mis cyntaf; ac a wersyllasant yn Gilgal, yn eithaf tu dwyrain Jericho.
20 A’r deuddeg carreg hynny, y rhai a ddygasent o’r Iorddonen, a sefydlodd Josua yn Gilgal. 21 Ac efe a lefarodd wrth feibion Israel, gan ddywedyd, Pan ofynno eich meibion chwi yn ôl hyn i’w tadau, gan ddywedyd, Beth yw y cerrig hyn? 22 Yna yr hysbyswch i’ch meibion, gan ddywedyd, Israel a ddaeth trwy’r Iorddonen hon ar dir sych. 23 Canys yr Arglwydd eich Duw chwi a sychodd ddyfroedd yr Iorddonen o’ch blaen chwi, nes i chwi fyned drwodd; megis y gwnaeth yr Arglwydd eich Duw i’r môr coch, yr hwn a sychodd efe o’n blaen ni, nes i ni fyned drwodd: 24 Fel yr adnabyddo holl bobloedd y ddaear law yr Arglwydd, mai nerthol yw; fel yr ofnoch yr Arglwydd eich Duw bob amser.
Joshua 4
King James Version
4 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the Lord spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
10 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
14 On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 And the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.
